Little buses more efficient, easier to board
Battle Ground
councilmember Bill Ganley and Clark County commissioner Betty
Sue Morris earlier this month helped inaugurate C-TRAN little
bus service on Battle Ground Route 7. Smaller, more efficient
little bus holds 23 passengers, is easier to board.
C-TRAN this month began
replacing ten of its oldest full-size buses with ten 29-foot,
23-passenger buses using federal grant funds received in 2003
for its bus replacement program.
The new low-riding buses
are more efficient, produce fewer emissions and are easier to
board, having only one step from the curb. They also have
panoramic windows.
C-TRAN executive
director/CEO Lynne Griffith
says the decision to replace some of the aging fleet with
smaller buses was based on public requests to use smaller buses
where appropriate.
